Origami
Experience the Japanese art of origami! Origami literally translates as ori (folding) gami (paper). This traditional Japanese craft of paper folding began in the 17th century but has been popular outside of Japan since the mid-1900s. The origami crane has since become a symbol of world peace, health and long life.
Origami is a wonderful hobby for individual and group activity. We invite a child with Parent or Grandparent in learning this beautiful art form together. The objective of these classes is to foster close relationship and bonding between parent and child. The emphasis is on the process. The classes are “hands-on,” exciting experiences for both children and adults. Parent and child work together side by side. New communication between parent and child results from sharing creative experiences and the crafts they created.
Guaranteed to be fun way to spend quality time with your child!

Left Brain and Right Brain at Origami Training
by Katrin and Yuri Shumakov, Oriland's founder.
Theragami’s founder and director, Hagit Shalev, is an experienced educator and Origami specialist who focuses on using paper folding technique as an educational, therapeutic and recreational tool to enhance vital academic and cognitive skills in children and adolescents.
She highlighted that Origami can be used as a teaching tool for the learning disabled. Children with learning disability often have difficulty in delaying immediate gratification. They become frustrated or anxious with projects that require a long time to complete, and expect to see results right away. Origami makes this possible. Origami makes this possible. Unlike other manipulative craft activities, there is no glue or paints that need to be dried. The results are enjoyed almost at once. Mistakes do not show up one’s disability in such a way as to cause embarrassment and are not a permanent symbol of failure, since all they need to do is to flatten the paper and start anew. This gives Origami a neutral or non-threatening status.

"Good character is the inward values that determine outward actions"
It's not complicated to learn or practice good character, it's actually simple when we take just one character trait at a time - and the "fruit" is so very sweet for us, for our children, and for everyone else we and they come in contact with.
